What if, instead of frantically trying to find a power outlet when your smartphone is about to die, you simply had to hold it in your hand and scroll through Instagram for a while? That's the future the Matrix PowerWatch teases, because it's able to charge itself using nothing but the warmth of your body. Unfortunately there's a bit of a trade off I've noticed in my limited use, and infinite power comes with the need for some exceptional vision.

The more features that fancy smartwatch on your wrist has, the worse its battery life will be. But what if instead of needing to be charged every night, your smartwatch harnessed and converted your own body heat into electricity to keep it running?

Predicting the future is near impossible -- but that doesn‘t stop us all from having a red hot go. Human beings have been predicting the future since the beginning of history and the results range from the hilarious to the downright uncanny.
